Patents by Inventor Yasuo HIGA

Yasuo HIGA has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10916045
    Abstract: The present invention is designed so that, even when a CG model moves with a tempo, it is possible to realize natural movement. The device according to one aspect of the present invention has a control section that exerts control so that specific data, which corresponds to a case where a predetermined parameter has a specific value, is generated using a plurality of pieces of data corresponding to respective cases where the predetermined parameter has different values, and a playback section that reproduces a predetermined computer graphics (CG) model based on the specific data.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10814483
    Abstract: To facilitate synchronization of a robot motion with a musical piece, a data conversion apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire first time-series information for designating coordinates of a constituent component of a predetermined computer graphics (CG) model on a beat basis in time series. The data conversion unit also includes a control unit configured to detect a structural difference between the predetermined CG model and a predetermined robot based on the first time-series information. The data conversion unit further includes a generation unit configured to correct the first time-series information based on the detected difference to generate second time-series information for designating coordinates of a constituent component of the predetermined robot on a beat basis in time series.

  • Patent number: 10410392
    Abstract: The present invention is designed to allow easy synchronization of the movement of a computer graphics (CG) model with sound data. The data structure according to an embodiment of the present invention presents a data structure that relates to a computer graphics (CG) model, including first time-series information for designating the coordinates of the components of the CG model on a per beat basis, and the first time-series information is used on a computer to process the CG model.
